Battle of San Juan Hill (1898)

The Battle of San Juan Hill in 1898 was a pivotal, though costly, American victory during the Spanish-American War in Cuba. American forces, including Theodore Roosevelt's famed "Rough Riders" and the Buffalo Soldiers, charged uphill against entrenched Spanish positions. This dramatic assault, part of the larger battle for the San Juan Heights near Santiago, proved crucial in securing American dominance and ultimately led to the Spanish surrender of Cuba. The battle became a symbol of American courage and significantly boosted Roosevelt's political career. #SanJuanHill #SpanishAmericanWar #RoughRiders #TheodoreRoosevelt #BuffaloSoldiers #CubaHistory #1898War #AmericanVictory #MilitaryHistory #USHistory
